We recognize that VGCC has a number of students and prospective students who want to work towards completing their certificate, diploma or degree in an expedited manner. Or, they are seeking to retool and retrain amidst the pandemic. VGCC is being creative when thinking about the current and future needs of its students.

This incentivized enrollment is limited to one additional course per credit or non-credit student and covers tuition and fees. Those who are interested must take the course during the Summer of 2020.

Summer is just underway at VGCC and it is not too later to register. Come grow with us!! You may visit www.vgcc.edu to find course offerings for this summer. The summer credit term begins on Tuesday, May 26, 2020, and the non-credit registration is ongoing.
